In Summary
- Ice Yarns Organic Cotton yarn is a lovely, soft yarn perfect for wearables or accessories and around the home.
- I find it to be weightier than other 8 ply yarns. In my opinion somewhere between an 8 and 10ply.
- I love the way this yarn makes up with a lovely fleck throughout.
- Organic Cotton is very nice to crochet with. I did find it splits just a little, but am willing to forgive because it’s so nice otherwise.
- The above square is crocheted with a 4mm hook which created a nice dense pattern. If you desire something with more drape I suggest a larger hook and/or a more open stitch pattern.
